MILL 72 BAKE SHOP CAFE&

Manheim’s Mill 72 is the epitome of a familyoriented establishment. Owner Melanie Miller is a mom of four daughters, and her family of six (plus two sons-in-law) all play a role in the success of the bakery. With a second location in Lebanon preparing to open, that teamwork comes in handy now more than ever.

The family vibes extend to the customers as well. “We know their history, their backgrounds, their stories,” Miller says about her regulars. People love their cupcakes, tandy cakes, and energy balls as a morning or midday pick-me-up. To accompany their sweet treats, Miller loves to see people order creative drinks like lavender or rose flavorings with espresso.

As Mill 72 settles into its second location, guests can expect new varieties of pastries, danishes, and turnovers, among other surprises.

Over the warmer months, guests can expect Desserts Etc. to take part in more events, like hosting live music or partnering with the Palmyra Greenhouse flower truck. If you make yourself a regular, just be warned that you will find yourself as integral to the operation as the cakes themselves.
